Percentage of drop-outs for Managerial category in 2005 = $$\ \frac{\ 45292\ -\ 40763}{45292}\times\ 100\ \approx\ 10\%$$

Therefore, percentage of drop-outs from 2004 to 2005 has decreased. Statement X is true.

Statement Y:

Percentage of drop-outs for Managerial category in 2005 = $$\ \frac{\ 45292\ -\ 40763}{45292}\times\ 100\ \approx\ 10\%$$

Percentage of drop-outs for Technical category in 2005 = $$\ \frac{\ 63298\ -\ 60133}{63298}\times\ 100\ \approx\ 5\%$$
